Efficiently and accurately assessing aeroelastic performance of turbomachinery blades is essential in the routine design. In this work, the Time Collocation Method (TCM) which uses the cubic B-spline to approximate flow variables is first thoroughly studied and then combined with the moving grid technique to analyze aeroelastic flow fields. To showcase its advantage over the Harmonic Balance (HB) method which uses a truncated Fourier series to approximately represent flow variables, a matrix analysis of the one-dimensional advection equation is first performed. The results of stability analysis are verified by two test cases: the Durham linear oscillating turbine cascade and a two-blade-row transonic compressor. The vibration of the blade of the first case is driven by a motor while the excitation force of the second case comes from blade row interaction. The results show that the time collocation method has a faster convergence rate and is more stable than the harmonic balance method, especially for cases with a large maximum grid reduced frequency. More importantly, the time collocation method is capable of accurately predicting aeroelastic performance of turbomachinery blades.展开更多

The nonli...Revealing the combined influence of interfacial damage and nonlinear factors on the forced vibration is significant for the stability design of fluid-conveying pipes, which are usually assembled in aircraft. The nonlinear forced resonance of fluid-conveying layered pipes with a weak interface and a movable boundary under the external excitation is studied. The pipe is simply supported at both ends, with one end subject to a viscoelastic boundary constraint described by KelvinVoigt model. The weak interface in the pipe is considered in the refined displacement field of the layered pipe employing the interfacial cohesive law. The governing equations are derived by Hamilton's variational principle. Geometric nonlinearities including nonlinear curvature, longitudinal inertia nonlinearity and nonlinear constraint force are comprehensively considered during the theoretical derivation. Amplitude-frequency bifurcation diagrams are obtained utilizing a perturbation-Incremental Harmonic Balance Method(IHBM). Results show that interfacial damage and viscoelastic constraints from boundary and foundation have an important influence on the linear and nonlinear dynamic behavior of the system.展开更多

However, existing mechanical model...Accurate mechanical modeling is essential for robotic belt grinding(RBG), a process characterized by compliant contact mechanisms that make force prediction particularly challenging. However, existing mechanical models predominantly focus on macroscale compliance while neglecting grain-scale compliant motion. Moreover, abrasive grains are typically idealized as regular shapes, overlooking the inherent stochasticity of real grain geometries. This study proposes a shapeequivalence method for modeling stochastic abrasive grains and develops a multiscale compliant force model for RBG. Specifically, an individual grain is represented as a polygonal pyramid with stochastic edges that is mathematically equivalent to a cone;this method unifies the treatment of grain geometries and streamlines the modeling process. The mathematical equivalence relationship for random grain shapes is further derived based on a grain-compliant contact model. By integrating grain geometric characteristics and progressive grain wear, an analytical mechanical model that captures both the static contact force and dynamic grinding force is established, thereby describing the transition from grain-workpiece compliant interaction to belt-workpiece elastic contact. Grinding experiments were conducted using abrasive belts with different grain shape distributions to validate the model. The results demonstrated reliable predictions of the tangential grinding force and its component characteristics. Additional analyses were performed to reveal how the tangential grinding force varies with wear time and grinding parameters.展开更多

The microstructure characteristics of 7075 aluminium alloy semisolid slurry at different stirring speeds prepared by the FCR process were analyzed. The experimental results suggest that with the increase of the stirring speed, the mean grain size of the semisolid decreases and the shape factor as well as the number of primary grains increase. Meanwhile, the preparation process of semisolid slurry was numerically simulated. The flow characteristics of the melt in the device and the effect of the stirring speed on temperature field and solid fraction of the melt were investigated. The simulated results show that during the preparation process of semisolid slurry, there is a complex convection within the FCR device that obviously changes the temperature field distribution and solid fraction of the melt. When the convection intensity increases, the scope of the undercooling gradient of the melt is reduced and temperature distribution is improved.展开更多

The concentration distribution at solid-liquid boundary of binary alloy Ni-Cu was simulated using phase field model coupled with flow field. The microsegregation, concentration maximum value, boundary thickness of concentration near upstream dendrite and normal to flow dendrite, and downstream dendrite were studied quantitatively in the case of forced lamia flow. The simulation results show that solute field and flow field interact complexly. Compared with melt without flow, in front of upstream dendrite tip, the concentration boundary thickness is the lowest and the concentration maximum value is the smallest for melt with flow. However, in front of downstream dendrite tip, the results are just the opposite. The zone of poor Cu in upstream dendrite where is the most severely microsegregation and shrinkage cavity is wider and the concentration is lower for melt with flow than that without flow.展开更多

The adaptive finite element method was adopted to solve the model based on the non-uniform grid, and the behavior of dendritic growth was simulated from undercooled nickel melt under the forced flow. The simulation results show that the asymmetry behavior of the dendritic growth is caused by the forced flow. When the flow velocity is less than the critical value, the asymmetry of dendrite is little influenced by the forced flow. Once the flow velocity reaches or exceeds the critical value, the controlling factor of dendrite growth gradually changes from thermal diffusion to convection. With the increase of the flow velocity, the deflection angle towards upstream direction of the primary dendrite stem becomes larger. The effect of the dendrite growth on the flow field of the melt is apparent. With the increase of the dendrite size, the vortex is present in the downstream regions, and the vortex region is gradually enlarged. Dendrite tips appear to remelt. In addition, the adaptive finite element method can reduce CPU running time by one order of magnitude compared with uniform grid method, and the speed-up ratio is proportional to the size of computational domain.展开更多

文摘The frequent or occasional impact loads pose serious threats to the service safety of conventional concrete structures in tunnel.In this paper,a novel three-dimensional mesoscopic model of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC)is constructed by discrete element method.The model encompasses the concrete matrix,aggregate,interfacial transition zone and steel fibers,taking into account the random shape of the coarse aggregate and the stochastic distribution of steel fibers.It captures microscopic-level interactions among the coarse aggregate,steel fibers,and matrix.Subsequently,a comprehensive procedure is formulated to calibrate the microscopic parameters required by the model,and the reliability of the model is verified by comparing with the experimental results.Furthermore,a coupled finite difference method-discrete element method approach is used to construct the model of the split Hopkinson pressure bar.Compression tests are simulated on SFRC specimens with varying steel fiber contents under static and dynamic loading conditions.Finally,based on the advantages of DEM analysis at the mesoscopic level,this study analyzed mechanisms of enhancement and crack arrest in SFRC.It shed a light on the perspectives of interface failure process,microcrack propagation,contact force field evolution and energy analysis,offering valuable insights for related mining engineering applications.

文摘Disk-drum structures jointed by bolted flanges(DDSJBFs)are core parts in aircraft engines,whose dynamic responses affect structural overall safety and service performance.However,studies on the dynamic response of DDSJBFs under base excitation are not found in available literature.In the present work,the dynamic responses for DDSJBFs subjected to base excitation are investigated both theoretically and experimentally.The kinetic energy and potential energy of disk,drum,and flange are derived according to the Kirchhoff plate,the Sanders’shell,and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theories,respectively,where the influences of flange and the mass of bolt are taken into account.The artificial spring method is applied to model the bolted joint.The Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials are adopted as the admissible functions of disk and drum,and the Lagrange equations are used to obtain the motion equation.The motion equation is solved by using the Newmark-beta approach and the dynamic responses under base excitation are acquired.A series of experiment studies are conducted on a DDSJBF to demonstrate the correctness of established theoretical model.Finally,study results show that because the relative motion between bolted flange joint interfaces generates friction damping,increasing the excitation amplitude causes the increase of damping ratio of DDSJBFs on the whole,and the increase of resonant peak value exhibits a slowing trend.The above phenomenon becomes more evident when the number of bolt is less.With the increase of bolt mass and flange size,the resonant frequency significantly decreases,while the resonant peak value remains unchanged.
文摘Revealing the combined influence of interfacial damage and nonlinear factors on the forced vibration is significant for the stability design of fluid-conveying pipes, which are usually assembled in aircraft. The nonlinear forced resonance of fluid-conveying layered pipes with a weak interface and a movable boundary under the external excitation is studied. The pipe is simply supported at both ends, with one end subject to a viscoelastic boundary constraint described by KelvinVoigt model. The weak interface in the pipe is considered in the refined displacement field of the layered pipe employing the interfacial cohesive law. The governing equations are derived by Hamilton's variational principle. Geometric nonlinearities including nonlinear curvature, longitudinal inertia nonlinearity and nonlinear constraint force are comprehensively considered during the theoretical derivation. Amplitude-frequency bifurcation diagrams are obtained utilizing a perturbation-Incremental Harmonic Balance Method(IHBM). Results show that interfacial damage and viscoelastic constraints from boundary and foundation have an important influence on the linear and nonlinear dynamic behavior of the system.

文摘This research focuses on developing innovative hybrid solar dryers that combine solar Photovoltaic(PV)and solar thermal systems for sustainable food preservation in Pakistan,addressing the country’s pressing issues of high post-harvest losses and unreliable energy sources.The proposed active hybrid solar dryer features a drying cabinet,two Direct Current(DC)fans for forced convection,and a resistive heating element powered by a 180 W solar PV panel.An energy-storing battery ensures continuous supply to the auxiliaries during periods of low solar irradiance,poor weather conditions,or nighttime.Tomatoes,a delicate and in-demand crop,were selected for experimentation due to their high perishability.Three experiments were conducted on the same prototype:natural convection direct solar dryer(NCDSD),forced convection direct solar dryer(FCDSD),and forced convection hybrid solar dryer(FCHSD).Each experiment began with 0.2 kg of tomatoes at 94%moisture content,achieving significant reductions:28.57%with NCDSD,16.667%with FCDSD,and 16.667%with FCHSD.The observed drying rates varied:1.161 kg/h for NCDSD,2.062 kg/h for FCDSD,and 2.8642 kg/h for FCHSD.This study presents a comparative analysis of efficiency,drying rate,and cost-effectiveness,alongside the system’s economic and environmental feasibility.
文摘The damped Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator is a topic of great interest in many different fields of study due to its complex dynamics.By transitioning from conventional continuous differential equations to their fractal counterparts,one gains insights into the system's response under new mathematical frameworks.This paper presents a novel method for converting standard continuous differential equations into their fractal equivalents.This conversion occurs after the nonlinear system is transformed into its linear equivalent.Numerical analyses show that there are several resonance sites in the fractal system,which differ from the one resonance point found in the continuous system.One important finding is that the fractal system loses some of its stabilizing power when decaying behavior is transformed into a diffuse pattern.Interestingly,a decrease in the fractal order in resonance settings shows a stabilizing impact,highlighting the dynamics'complexity inside fractal systems.This endeavor to convert to fractals is a revolutionary technique that is being employed for the first time.

文摘The high-quality assembly of Large Aircraft Components(LACs)is essential in modern aviation manufacturing.Numerical control locators are employed for the posture adjustment of LAC,yet the system's multi-input multi-output,nonlinearity,and strong coupling presents significant challenges.The substantial internal force generated during the adjustment process can potentially damage the LAC and degrade the assembly quality.Hence,a workspace-based hybrid force position control scheme was developed to achieve high quality assembly with high-precision and lower internal force.Firstly,an offline workspace analysis with inherent geometric characteristics to form time-varying posture error constraint.Then,the posture error is integrated into the online position axis control to ensure tracking the ideal posture,while the force control axis compensates for posture deviation by minimizing internal force,thereby achieving high precision and low internal force.Finally,the effectiveness was demonstrated through experiments.The root mean square errors of orientation and position are 104 rad and 0.1 mm,respectively.A reduction in internal force can range from 10.96%to 57.4%compared to the traditional method.Key points'max position error is decreased from 0.32 mm to 0.18 mm,satisfying the 0.5 mm tolerance.Therefore,the proposed method will help promote the development of high-performance manufacturing.

文摘Bentonite is a necessary binder in producing pellets.Its excessive use reduces the iron grade of pellets and increases production costs.Minimizing bentonite dosage is essential for producing high-quality iron ore pellets.Addressing the gap in the application of organically-intercalated modified bentonite in the pelletizing field,this study introduces an innovative modification process for bentonite that employs the synergistic effect of mechanical force and dimethyl sulfoxide to enhance the intercalation of organic compounds within bentonite,thus significantly enhancing its binding performance.The colloid value and swell capacity of modified bentonite(98.5 m L/3g and 55.0 m L/g)were much higher than the original bentonite(90.5 m L/3g and 17.5 m L/g).With the decrease of bentonite dosage from1.5wt%to 1.0wt%,the drop number of green pellets from a height of 0.5 m and the compressive strengths of roasted pellets using the modified bentonite(6.0 times and 2916 N per pellet)were significantly higher than those of the original bentonite(4.0 times and 2739 N per pellet).This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the intercalation modification mechanism of bentonite,offering crucial technical insights for the development of high-performance modified bentonite as iron ore pellet binders.

文摘Accurate mechanical modeling is essential for robotic belt grinding(RBG), a process characterized by compliant contact mechanisms that make force prediction particularly challenging. However, existing mechanical models predominantly focus on macroscale compliance while neglecting grain-scale compliant motion. Moreover, abrasive grains are typically idealized as regular shapes, overlooking the inherent stochasticity of real grain geometries. This study proposes a shapeequivalence method for modeling stochastic abrasive grains and develops a multiscale compliant force model for RBG. Specifically, an individual grain is represented as a polygonal pyramid with stochastic edges that is mathematically equivalent to a cone;this method unifies the treatment of grain geometries and streamlines the modeling process. The mathematical equivalence relationship for random grain shapes is further derived based on a grain-compliant contact model. By integrating grain geometric characteristics and progressive grain wear, an analytical mechanical model that captures both the static contact force and dynamic grinding force is established, thereby describing the transition from grain-workpiece compliant interaction to belt-workpiece elastic contact. Grinding experiments were conducted using abrasive belts with different grain shape distributions to validate the model. The results demonstrated reliable predictions of the tangential grinding force and its component characteristics. Additional analyses were performed to reveal how the tangential grinding force varies with wear time and grinding parameters.

文摘In the context of the coordinated pursuit of"carbon peak and neutrality"objectives,alongside the strategy to establish a robust agricultural nation,the economic and social development of rural areas is undergoing a profound paradigm shift.The traditional rural division of labor pattern,which depends on tangible factors such as land,labor,and capital,has increasingly encountered developmental challenges characterized by diminishing marginal returns and a detrimental cycle of internal competition.The new quality productive force,centered on data,algorithms,green technologies,bioengineering,and clean energy,offers a potential pathway for the rural division of labor system to overcome the"low-level equilibrium".This force is characterized by attributes such as non-exclusivity,replicability,network collaboration,and ecological compatibility.This paper develops a three-dimensional collaborative analytical framework encompassing"technology,institution,and culture".It systematically elucidates the internal logic by which new quality productive forces drive the transformation of the rural division of labor from"quantitative factor matching"to"qualitative structural reorganization"through three principal mechanisms:technology embedding,institutional reconstruction,and cultural coupling.Furthermore,the study proposes corresponding policy recommendations,thereby offering theoretical insights to support the modernization of China s agriculture and rural areas,as well as the development of a strong agricultural country.

文摘A self-developed forced convection rheoforming （FCR） machine for the preparation of light alloy semisolid slurry was introduced. The microstructure characteristics of 7075 aluminium alloy semisolid slurry at different stirring speeds prepared by the FCR process were analyzed. The experimental results suggest that with the increase of the stirring speed, the mean grain size of the semisolid decreases and the shape factor as well as the number of primary grains increase. Meanwhile, the preparation process of semisolid slurry was numerically simulated. The flow characteristics of the melt in the device and the effect of the stirring speed on temperature field and solid fraction of the melt were investigated. The simulated results show that during the preparation process of semisolid slurry, there is a complex convection within the FCR device that obviously changes the temperature field distribution and solid fraction of the melt. When the convection intensity increases, the scope of the undercooling gradient of the melt is reduced and temperature distribution is improved.

文摘The influence of supercooled melt forced lamina flow on microsegregation was investigated. The concentration distribution at solid-liquid boundary of binary alloy Ni-Cu was simulated using phase field model coupled with flow field. The microsegregation, concentration maximum value, boundary thickness of concentration near upstream dendrite and normal to flow dendrite, and downstream dendrite were studied quantitatively in the case of forced lamia flow. The simulation results show that solute field and flow field interact complexly. Compared with melt without flow, in front of upstream dendrite tip, the concentration boundary thickness is the lowest and the concentration maximum value is the smallest for melt with flow. However, in front of downstream dendrite tip, the results are just the opposite. The zone of poor Cu in upstream dendrite where is the most severely microsegregation and shrinkage cavity is wider and the concentration is lower for melt with flow than that without flow.

文摘A mathematical model combined projection algorithm with phase-field method was applied. The adaptive finite element method was adopted to solve the model based on the non-uniform grid, and the behavior of dendritic growth was simulated from undercooled nickel melt under the forced flow. The simulation results show that the asymmetry behavior of the dendritic growth is caused by the forced flow. When the flow velocity is less than the critical value, the asymmetry of dendrite is little influenced by the forced flow. Once the flow velocity reaches or exceeds the critical value, the controlling factor of dendrite growth gradually changes from thermal diffusion to convection. With the increase of the flow velocity, the deflection angle towards upstream direction of the primary dendrite stem becomes larger. The effect of the dendrite growth on the flow field of the melt is apparent. With the increase of the dendrite size, the vortex is present in the downstream regions, and the vortex region is gradually enlarged. Dendrite tips appear to remelt. In addition, the adaptive finite element method can reduce CPU running time by one order of magnitude compared with uniform grid method, and the speed-up ratio is proportional to the size of computational domain.
